With Election Day less than three weeks away, a Lehigh County judge has rejected a lawsuit by four residents who demanded tighter restrictions on ballot drop boxes.
The plaintiffs, all Republicans, demanded the boxes at the government center in Allentown and other parts of the county be open only during “normal” business hours and be monitored in person to make sure voters drop only their own ballots, or ballots they have been authorized to drop.
In a ruling issued late Tuesday, Judge Thomas Capehart said evidence presented at hearings on the case showed in-person monitoring had not conclusively reduced third-party ballot dropping, but better education, publicity and signage had succeeded in doing so.
Additionally, in-person monitoring, “while seemingly innocuous, is more likely than not to have the unintended result of in-person intervention at the drop box sites and may unduly interfere with voters lawfully returning their ballots to the drop box.”
Capehart also said the county had made its case that it would be too difficult to hire and train drop box observers in such a short time, meaning the boxes, which many voters rely on, would be eliminated.
“With better and clearer information being provided to voters by the [county election board] and with this information being publicly disseminated to the electorate in a timely fashion, the integrity of mail-in voting via drop boxes in Lehigh County remains safe and secure,” the judge wrote.
He also said granting the suit’s demands at this late date is likely to create confusion and uncertainty around the election, further eroding the public’s confidence in the process. Mail-in ballots “have already been sent to voters with information designed to assist voters when voting by mail, and any changes to these instructions is unlikely to be timely or clear,” Capehart wrote.

So no evidence because you can’t document evidence.
Can’t stuff drop boxes when people are watching, durinf daylight and stuff.
These plantiffs are WAISIST.
I would like to see drop boxes that can take one submission at a time, with a video camera recording people coming and going. If some guy shows up at 3 AM, stands there for 5 minutes and leaves, and if 200 votes are recorded between 3:00 and 3:05 AM, then something is funny.
But, really, I want no drop boxes at all.
Well, well, well. A judge with an IQ of 87.
Okay, be a shame if the box disappeared at 0300.
This is treason.
You cannot, in anyway, validate those ballots were filled out by whose names were on them. You cannot, in ANY way validate those ballots are even legitimate.
Are they looking for duplicate addresses? IDs?! How do we even know the identities of those filling out the ballot are even real people?
A little crystal drano blown into the box could render most all of the ballots unreadable. Why, even some corn starch (with rumors of Anthrax), or other “mysterious white powder” could do likewise.
Why is this war on elections only going one way?
[not a suggestion, just a discussion]
The only reason for them is to facilitate fraud.
Conservatives believe in truth, freedom, and morals.
Liberals believe the ends justify the means.
